The cabin was incredibly clean, spotless. Really nice, comfortable, warm, accessible and overall pretty flawless. I will absolutely stay there again on our next fishing trip. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The price was unbeatable as well.
Overall since the last time we stayed last year I drop my rating from a 5 to a 4 star for this visit. The rooms were not very clean, the fridge smelled like straight fish and could not be used or opened due to the smell. We tried to use the breakfast bar and there was no hot water for coffee/tea and no supplies left out like it was last year.
Tim is a wonderful host! He is very friendly and accommodating. The rooms were exceptionally clean. The windows give you plenty of privacy during the day while the curtains are drawn letting in natural light. They have a fire pit and even supply wood for it. If you have no interest in building a fire there is also a propane one on the property surrounded with the comforts of patio furniture. Although it is located off the main road, it is very peaceful and welcoming.
There is a laundry facility, a place to store your prizes from fishing, and a propane grill to cook up any food you'd like.
It is not a pet friendly hotel HOWEVER there is a boarding house just down the road if traveling with your fur babies.
We've stayed on two different occasions and 110% will return.
To be honest I didn't want to write this review because deep down I wanted to keep this hidden gem to ourselves.
This is a prime location to stay whether fishing, four-wheeling or snowmobiling as it is located conveniently on the trails.
